Nov 22, 2018

Are you visiting family or friends over the Thanksgiving holiday? If so, your travel plans may be the perfect opportunity to practice your math skills in a real world way. Calculating distance, time, fuel use, departures and arrivals...all of these are A plus math in the real world situations!

This week’s word problem challenge will boost kids math learning, and improve elementary school math skills such as addition, subtraction, and time in a fun and relatable way. Go ahead and give it a try below, and don’t forget to check back tomorrow for the solution!

Question: A plane leaves New York at 10:30 am heading to California. If the flight is 5½ hours long, what time will it be in California when it lands? (New York is 3 hours ahead of California.)

My daughter loves going to Mathnasium. She wants to be ahead of everyone in her class. She's developed confidence with her Math subject. Thank you Ms Emma, Ms Brooke and to all the wonderful instructors.

The Mathnasium at Rivermark, Santa Clara has a really good reward systems to motivate kids. This is really helpful since my son is not very interested in Math. The directors, Emma and Brooke are very responsive and encouraging. The only thing is that they have too many turnovers on the tutors.

This math program did help our daughter with her struggles with math. She is currently receiving an A in math. She enjoyed the program and thought the staff were very helpful. We will definitely use Mathnasuim again if needed.
